Rising energy costs is a reality: utility bills are increasing, and this can be a concern for a lot of homeowners. Using (or even wasting) more energy than needed is problematic for the environment, but also for our wallets.

Managing energy consumption is not an easy task, and energy-efficiency enabler Verdigris is placing IoT meters inside buildings to measure energy use of individual devices to detect any abnormal consumption, so that building managers can fix problems accordingly.

The beauty of combining IoT-ready hardware with cloud-based software is that buildings can utilize existing hardwiring connections to quickly install a comprehensive solution to manage energy use, according to Zen Ecosystems, which provides smart energy management solutions for businesses.
